What happened today?
"Let's serve the food first," Shen Qingyi instructed Ding Ning again, saying, "Xiao Ding, contact Lan Lan and ask her to come over immediately."
Ding Ning sent a message to Zhang Lanlan, and Zhang Lanlan said she would be there soon, saying that she was stuck in traffic halfway.
After more than ten minutes, all the dishes were served.
Seeing that Zhang Lanlan hadn't arrived yet, Shen Qingyi looked at the people waiting at the table and said, "Let's eat first."
She was the first to pick up the chopsticks.
The others began to eat.
Shen Qingyi had just taken two bites of the cold beef when the door of the box rang a few times and then Zhang Lanlan pushed the door open and came in.
Yu Yizhou also came in with her.
Everyone was shocked when they saw Yu Yizhou, and some were looking at Zhou Mo's expression, some openly and some secretly.
"This is..." Shen Qingyi asked.
Zhang Lanlan introduced: "My boyfriend, Yu Yizhou."
Zhao Xiaoshuang rolled her eyes. Who among those present didn’t know Yu Yizhou? Isn’t this disgusting?
Shen Qingyi's face was also a little embarrassed. "Lanlan, I know him, but you... I don't quite understand what you're thinking."
Zhang Lanlan said: "Teacher, I just want to celebrate your birthday."
Shen Qingyi looked at Yu Yizhou with questioning eyes.
Yu Yizhou didn't care at all. He looked very polite and handed the gift to Shen Qingyi with both hands.
"Teacher Shen, I asked Lanlan to bring me here. You're Lanlan's teacher, like her adoptive parent. It's your birthday, so I had to come and congratulate you. Lanlan said that for your birthday, I asked a friend to buy a limited edition bag from abroad for you."
Shen Qingyi adjusted his glasses slightly, and the smile on his face was awkward and stiff.
As a teacher, she cannot interfere in the emotional disputes between students, let alone express her opinion. Otherwise, if the students think that she is biased, it will be difficult to lead the team in the future.
"Thank you." Although she felt a little repulsive in her heart, Yu Yizhou's behavior was quite polite, and there was no reason for her to deliberately embarrass him now.
Even if Zhang Lanlan was her student, no matter how bad Yu Yizhou was, their relationship was their own business, and as a teacher, she had no right to interfere.
"Everyone who comes is a guest, please sit down first." Shen Qingyi said.
Seeing that Shen Qingyi didn't react much, Zhang Lanlan felt that Shen Qingyi had passed this level, and happily pulled Yu Yizhou to sit down.
The two sat between Ding Ning and Tang Jiahui, Zhang Lanlan leaned against Ding Ning and Yu Yizhou leaned against Tang Jiahui.
Chi Zhouxu suddenly stood up, patted Tang Jiahui on the shoulder, and the two of them silently changed seats.
Seeing that several people were seated, Zhou Mo called the waiter and asked for two more sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Zhang Lanlan looked at the set of bowls and chopsticks in front of her and said, "Sister, no need, one set will do."
Zhou Mo smiled and said, "Someone else will be here soon."
Zhang Lanlan was stunned for a moment, "Who is it?"
Zhou Mo: "You'll know when you see it."
The meal was very boring. No one dared to speak during the meal. After all, Shen Qingyi had a serious expression, and even the most lively Zhao Xiaoshuang did not dare to act rashly.
Plus, Yu Yizhou was there, and the few people were not familiar with him, which made it even more awkward.
Halfway through the meal, Shen Qingyi felt bored and started a new topic.
She glanced around and said, "Who decorated this private room? There are balloons and latte art. I thought we were just going to have a meal."
As soon as Shen Qingyi said this, everyone present, except Zhou Mo and Zhao Xiaoshuang, lowered their heads in shame.
Zhao Xiaoshuang said, "Teacher, it was my senior sister who helped me put this together. Is the atmosphere okay?"
"You guys, I'm so old, and you're still doing these things," Shen Qingyi said this, but the smile in the corner of his eyes couldn't deceive anyone.
Zhao Xiaoshuang took advantage of the situation and climbed up the slope. "To prepare these things, my senior sister and I went to many places. We also inflated the balloons ourselves, tied them up, and hung them up."
"Thanks for your hard work, I like it very much," Shen Qingyi said, picking up the wine glass, "Come, teacher, let me toast you."
Zhou Mo and Zhao Xiaoshuang quickly stood up. It was unusual for a teacher to toast his students.
Zhou Mo quickly filled her and Zhao Xiaoshuang's glasses with wine. She picked them up and said, "Teacher, happy birthday. I toast to you."
Zhao Xiaoshuang also said, "Teacher, I wish you a happy birthday too. I hope you can recruit more students next year, and it would be best if you can recruit some handsome seniors and juniors."
Everyone present burst into laughter, and Shen Qingyi couldn't stop laughing.
"You don't want me to recruit students, you want me to find a boyfriend for myself, right?"
Zhao Xiaoshuang chuckled twice, "Killing two birds with one stone, achieving multiple goals at once, what a great thing, right, Xiao Ding?"
Ding Ning was suddenly called out, and it took her a while to react. "Huh? What does this have to do with me?"
Zhao Xiaoshuang said: "Besides me, you are the only one who is still single."
Ding Ning said honestly, "Isn't Senior Brother Liu Kai single too?"
Zhao Xiaoshuang teased, "Why, do you still want your senior brother Liu Kai to find a boyfriend?"
Everyone laughed again.
Chi Zhouxu said, "Xiao Shuang, thank goodness Liu Kai isn't here today. If he had heard this, he would have been furious with you."
Zhao Xiaoshuang: "He's anxious, that's all. It's not the first time that he and I have had arguments."
Chi Zhouxu raised his hand and said, "Drink first, drink first. You've been holding the cup for so long and you're just talking nonsense."
Zhao Xiaoshuang snorted in dissatisfaction and said to Shen Qingyi: "Teacher, my senior sister and I have done it, you can do whatever you want."
Shen Qingyi nodded and advised: "You guys can do whatever you want, don't force yourself."
The relationship between teachers and students at the dinner table is all resolved by wine. Even if Shen Qingyi is sincerely persuading him, as a student, it is impossible for him to take it seriously and he has to drink.
Zhou Mo also raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
They dine together as a group and rarely drink.
But on such an important occasion as the mentor’s birthday, it is impossible not to drink.
And all kinds of wine must be prepared so that everyone can drink whatever they want.
Zhao Xiaoshuang and Zhou Mo drank white wine, while Shen Qingyi liked to drink red wine.
After the two of them toasted, according to seniority, it was Chi Zhouxu and Tang Jiahui's turn next.
But when toasting the tutor, you cannot gather in a group. There are so many students, and if you gather in a group to toast, it is equivalent to forcing the tutor to get drunk.
Chi Zhouxu and Tang Jiahui planned to eat for a while longer, and then toast again after they had calmed down.
This wait gave Yu Yizhou and others an opportunity.
He pulled Zhang Lanlan up and rudely filled his and Zhang Lanlan's glasses with wine.
"Teacher Shen, Lanlan and I also toast you and wish you a happy birthday," he raised his head and drank the wine without waiting for Shen Qingyi to speak.
Zhang Lanlan, who was standing by, didn't expect Yu Yizhou's behavior to be so vulgar. She was shocked for a moment, and then felt a little embarrassed.
"Why aren't you guys drinking?" Yu Yizhou didn't understand the situation yet, and then filled his own glass again, "Are you dissatisfied that I haven't accompanied you well enough? Okay, I'll have two more."
It was supposed to be a good toast, but Yu Yizhou turned it into a crazy drinking session where one person was drinking alone.
Zhang Lanlan quickly pulled him aside and whispered, "We don't drink like you do."
"What's that like?" Yu Yizhou asked, downing another glass of wine.
